Into The Wild - The Shilonda Trail

Monsoon is here and we welcome the season with a hike through the Shilonda trail, the core areas of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park. June is the best time to do this hike since the first few monsoon showers will have washed the dust off the trees, the jungle shimmers with varied hues of green, and the streams and rivers are bubbling with crystal clear water. We've got a wildlife expert Mr Nikit Surve (Wildlife Researcher, SGNP) who'll be hosting this hike. Rest assured, one will learn a billion fun facts about the plants, insects and animals that inhabit this national park in the midst of our beloved city! Or take dip or two while crossing the rivers to reach the end of the trail. This is basically, a perfect getaway for those who just want to unwind over an easy hike through a dense forest. We promise you sightings of rare birds or everyday domestic scenes in the animal kingdom. The two fresh water streams flowing through are just magical. Let's quit complaining about Mumbai’s lack of green cover — make the most of this national park, the only one of its kind that is surrounded by a concrete jungle. Join us!
